The reality is that you shouldn't have to go through such a long-winded process. The search engines aren't up to scratch I'm afraid.
Still no joy on my desktop, I concede defeat!
Hi there, my search wasn't for bottles being sold out of Oamaru. My search was for bottles with Oamaru in the title of the listing.
I have tried a search for Oamaru in the Bottles category within the Antiques & Collectables section. It returns with null / undefined as it's answer. Why is the search not showing me the matching listings that ARE there? How are sellers expected to have a good chance of selling items, if they haven't a fair chance of being found in the first place?
Trade Me's apparently all about making itself a secure & safe site, yet we are no longer able to see whom we are potentially dealing with. I do not wish to deal with folks with excessive negative feedback, plain & simple, nor people having the opportunity to anonymously badger me time & time again for a FPO/relist. Cheers.
S - Transparency is required. How is it acceptable that you are no longer aware of whom is requesting an offer? I don't wish to offer out to someone with poor feedback or to someone that continually requests offers & is just a tyre kicker. I would err on the side of adding these members to my blacklist, rather than offering out to, but I guess I won't know whom they are now, as they hidden by anonymity.
I eventually could add a Buy Now but I had to do it in two stages. I'm not going to add anything negative about Trade Me's ongoing issues but I certainly don't have anything positive to add.
https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/edit-listing/5960041760/promote I've attempted to edit my listing by reducing the price and adding a 'Buy Now'. I am not able to do this as it reads 'The Buy Now price must be greater than or equal to the Starting price'. My Buy Now price is greater than the start price but it is not letting me do so. Surely, I shouldn't have to edit the listing twice, firstly by lowering the price & then coming back to it & adding a Buy Now?
Why is that you are no longer able to reply directly to the buyers e-mail via Trade Me's accompanying post-auction sale e-mail? I am finding that buyers are not responding to my correspondence & the e-mails are probably going in their junk. Is there a reason Trade Me has done this or is it something I am doing, as I'm finding it a real unnecessary inconvenience.
I wish it was as simply as that but unfortunately they don't always show anymore.
